Slow Clap for the Republican Congressman Who Will 'Take Cyanide' if Ted Cruz Wins

If we've learned anything from the interminable slog that is the 2016 campaign, it's that literally no one likes Ted Cruz. It took Cruz a full year of oleaginous campaigning to get an endorsement from any of his 99 Senate colleagues. Lindsey Graham joked about the Texan's murder on the Senate floor. (He subsequently held a fundraiser for Cruz, because nothing matters.) Republican party elder Bob Dole said he liked everyone in the traveling presidential freak show "except Cruz." And those are just people in his own party.

So it was no surprise that New York Congressman Peter King—also a Republican—was more than willing to tell the world that he hates Ted Cruz yesterday.
